History
Bush came up with the idea of a FEED bag while in college at Princeton University. She met Gustafson, who was working at the UN World Food Program, and they decided to start a small company to sell FEED bags to feed the children of the world. Intended as a fundraiser for the UN World Food Program, FEED Projects has grown rapidly since its founding. FEED bags have been supported by many different celebrities, including Marcia Cross, Ali Larter, and Elizabeth Berkley.
Gustafson and Bush also co-founded the FEED Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit with the mission of raising awareness and funds to ensure nutritious school meals for all children as a first step toward improving the global food system.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“America is, therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World’s history shall reveal itself. It is a land of desire for all those who are weary of the historical lumber-room of Old Europe.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
